Millennials: are you as sick of dating apps as the rest of us? Great, us too. While we didn't birth online dating, our generation certainly became the target market, from the early days of OkCupid to the birth of Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and more. But if the idea of downloading another app just to have dead-end conversations makes you want to throw away your phone, we have the perfect event for you.
On April 29, ditch the apps and meet fellow Millennial singles in IRL at Millenial Speed Dating. Held at Time Out Market New York's ground floor bar, The Local Corner, the speed dating will gather 30 singles to meet, greet and hopefully make a connection. There is a bit of technology involved, but worry not, it's all geared toward finding your perfect match. Before the big day, participants will receive an email prompting them to create a matching profile on SpeedMatchApp (which only takes two minutes to sign up). As you mingle throughout the evening, you can use the app to select your matches in real-time, from "friend,” “date,” or “none.” The next morning you’ll receive a text with all your matches.
Tickets cost $38. Participants must purchase one food or drink item from the market to participate. Reserve your spot here.
